Fedora Core 6 & mod_ntlm

[Joshua Miller]

Just one more point of clarification here, when I indicated that the 
browser would present the user's login credentials to the web server, I 
mean that the browser would present the Windows login credentials of the 
current logged in user on that computer.  This is the single sign on 
(SSO) that the OP mentioned.

Thanks,
Josh, RCHE
